[Features of prevalence of sarcoidosis among the inhabitants of Moscow].

The present study was designed to investigate the prevalence of sarcoidosis in Moscow under the impact of various social-hygienic factors. 302 residents in Moscow with a confirmed diagnosis of "sarcoidosis" were examined. Relationships between exposure to social-hygienic factors and epidemiological characteristics of the patients' population have been analyzed The requirement of separate analysis of male and female populations of patients with sarcoidosis has been established in connection with independent formation of these samples, as well as differences in their response to the social and hygienic factors. The results indicate that male and female populations of patients with sarcoidosis are formed independently, express different reaction to social-hygienic factors and should be analyzed separately.
